About this property
Monte De Canoncito - A Beautiful Mountain Top Home, 10 Miles From Santa Fe, NM
Monte de Canoncito - A beautiful southwest style stucco home with New Mexican charm awaits your visit to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Located at 7,200 feet on top of Jicarilla Ridge, your “Home Away from Home” is surrounded by 28 acres of mountain property. Enjoy the natural beauty of this secluded property which has the only road leading into 50 square miles of National Forest. You will be just 10 miles from Santa Fe, a city rich in culture, history, fine dining and offers a traditional New Mexican experience. This amazing home sits on top of Canoncito Mountain with 270 degree panoramic views of over one hundred miles of the Galisteo Basin preserve and high mountain Sandia and Monzano ranges. The wrap around deck overlooks the historic Civil War battlegrounds of Apache Canyon and offers evening relaxation as you sip a glass of wine and watch the beautiful blue New Mexico skies and breath-taking sunsets.
Strategically located, your party can venture north to the Pecos Wilderness which is an easy 30 minute drive or continue for another 30 minutes and tour historic Las Vegas, New Mexico. Established in 1835, Stephen W. Kearny delivered an address at the Plaza of Las Vegas claiming New Mexico for the United States during the Mexican-American War in 1846. You can also head south to hike in the Tent Rock Area or travel up to Bandelier National Monument and visit the homes and territory of the Ancestral Puebloans of a later era in the Southwest.

The home offers 3 bedrooms with queen sized beds, 2 full baths with tub and showers (hair dryers provided) , an open loft with single pull out sleeper, fully equipped kitchen with granite counter tops, kiva fireplace, wood stove, 2-person Jacuzzi bathtub, washer, dryer and 2-car garage.

The deck offers a barbeque grill with patio dining table and other covered and open leisure seating to gaze upon the beautiful surroundings and spectacular views of the Sandia, Ortiz, Monzano and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges. At the end of the day, warm up around a propane fire table and enjoy the clear starlit skies. There are steps from the driveway and garage into the main house. There are two steps to get to the back bedrooms and master bedroom and into the kitchen area.

Staying in this home was a true retreat. It was absolutely gorgeous, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and lovely. We loved the views, the hummingbirds, and the warmth of the home. We had a late arrival, which made the long winding road a bit intimidating, so I would recommend arriving during daylight if at all possible.
Place was very clean, with an amazing view, and isolated which is just what we wanted. Check in was pretty good. Definitely a little scary coming up the mountain at night, and if it were to rain, could be dangerous. Definitely not Uber friendly. Kitchen was well equipped for making breakfast with friends with finds from the Saturday farmers market.
A beautiful house in a stunning setting. We greatly enjoyed all the options of indoor and outdoor, and the hospitality of the hosts. All was made available to us (though we accidentally dropped on large bowl that shattered. Karen was very gracious about it.). A note about steps: there are several ups and downs, between and within rooms, that can catch one unawares. Anyone with stability issues may struggle.Sunsets are spectacular from the deck, and sunrises from the top of the driveway. Communication, cleanliness, amenities were excellent.
This was truly a remarkable property. Quiet location with spectacular views. Beautiful home with EVERY possible thing you need for your getaway. Close enough to Santa Fe but still far enough to be as isolated as you want.
We were looking for peace and quiet for relaxing and reading and we got what we wanted.
Lovely home, spectacular mountain views and well maintained gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed Karen and Doug’s lovely home and its amenities. Not far from Santa Fe and other popular destinations. The drive up the mountain can be daunting but we were so glad we had perfect weather and didn’t have to deal with heavy rain or snow. Thank you!
This house is simply perfect. Every amenity you could imagine. Very comfortable, private and luxurious. The views are stunning, furniture very comfortable and the kitchen is functions perfectly. Location is excellent for hiking trips, restaurants and the Santa Fe Plaza. We would have extended our stay if we had the time. Would 100% recommend this beautiful oasis and we hope to return soon!
A beautifully appointed house in a great setting. The porch overlooking the valley and mountains was stunning, additionally there were two other patios at the front door and side of the house. Very comfortable and spacious rooms. Be prepared for the 1/2 mile windy road up to the property. The hosts were very responsive to questions. We had a wonderful and relaxing time.
This was our second year at this property. The house is beautiful, comfortable and very roomy. The highlight for us is the wrap around deck and the views it provides. The gas fire pit is ideal for early morning coffee and night time star gazing. When the deck heats up in the afternoon the 2 patios on the front side are perfect.
Everything was great. Beautiful house well-kept and fabulous views. If you want to be 15-20 minutes away from town And don’t mind an uphill drive this is the place to be. O’B
We couldn’t have been happier with this amazing Santa Fe property!
Our stay was the perfect relaxing getaway… truly magical.
Amazing views and such a peaceful environment.
The house was exceptionally well-appointed, equipped with every amenity we could think of and then some!
The beautiful art throughout the property added a special touch, not to mention all the awesome outdoor sitting areas.
Karen was an incredibly attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The quiet surroundings in nature, created an idyllic retreat. We never wanted to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit.
100% recommend this property—it's a gem!
A group of 4 women enjoyed several days at this beautiful mountain home. There is a great deck with an amazing view for enjoying coffee, meals, cocktails. This home and kitchen are incredibly well stocked with every spice, appliance, cooking tool needed. The home is comfortable, clean and well decorated. As others have mentioned, the road to the home is steep and narrow and partially paved. The first time driving up was a bit harrowing, but once we were used to it there was no problem. We rented an SUV. The owner is very responsive to all questions.
We stayed for two weeks and truly enjoyed the house and grounds. It is located on a lovely hilltop with expansive views of the valley and mountains. We enjoyed the decks and outdoor areas, and listening/watching the birds. The house was very well appointed and beds were very comfortable Our hosts were very accessible and communicative.
Up on a ridge - superb mountain top views - beautiful garden - well furnished - serene

Beautiful setting; great custom built home
We decided to stay here for a Christmas holiday family gathering. Everything was just as advertised and the views are just stunning. This home has the perfect New Mexico design and decor for those looking to enjoy Santa Fe. The owners are incredibly nice and were very attentive both before and during our stay. I will definitely plan on staying at this property again in the future.
This home is beautifully decorated and meticulously cared for. The garden patio is lovely and the breezes on all the outdoor spaces are so refreshing. We all loved the privacy of the location and the outstanding scenery. Host was quite accommodating.
gorgeous home perched on top of hill w/ views of valley and Sandia Mountains
Wow. This place was amazing. Pictures don't do it justice. It's perched at the top of the hill with breathtaking Western and southern views. You can see the Sandia Mountains in the distance and at night when it's cloudy you can see the Albuquerque city lights reflected in the clouds. The home was gorgeous. The eastern side of the house has two gorgeous patios with picnic table, chaise lounges, water fountains, and shade. Perfect to use on warm sunny days when the deck is too hot. The space was perfect. Jacuzzi tub and bathroom with spectacular, gigantic walk in shower for two that was spiral-shaped. Everyone loved the place. the road up the hill is a dirt road and there are some fun hairpin turns. We definitely would love to stay there again.
My wife and I, our daughter and her husband, and their two children 13 and 19 spent a wonderful nine days at this property. The views on the deck circling the property were incredible. However, our favorite place was sitting with the family in either of the two front yard gardens. in addition to beautiful flowers surrounding us, the owners had wonderful, wind chimes, and a flowing waterfall that was delightful. Yes, the road leading up to the house was driven carefully and slowly, however, the arrival at the house was well worth the climb. It was probably the most relaxing vacation. My wife and I have had in the last 50 years. The kitchen was as well appointed as mine in our home. The host had every conceivable spice and item. Anyone would want to prepare meals. My wife and daughter are both excellent cooks, and they were very happy with the kitchen and it’s accommodations finally, the setting sun going down between the two mountains and the view from the porch is absolutely incredible each night. This is indeed a very special place.

Amazing SW home and fantastic views
Karen and Doug greeted us and had everything ready. It was a pleasure to meet them and they checked in with us via texts to be sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We took advantage of the wonderful deck and fire-table in the evening-watching the amazing sunsets. We enjoyed the front patio in the mornings at breakfast. We also used the cozy kiva fireplace on one cool Fall day and evening. Everything was perfect. The kitchen was well supplied with utensils, pots, pans and dinnerware. We prepared several meals in the house. The house was immaculate and the SW decor was charming and comfortable. Quiet, peaceful. As was disclosed by the owners in the house description, there are a few steps and various levels inside and out to contend with so the house is not appropriate for children, or anyone with a disability. And the mountain road up to the house is not for the faint of heart-but the views from the top of the ridge were so worth it!!! We couldn't have had a nicer place to stay during our visit to the Santa Fe and Albuquerque area.
Beautiful, secluded location, wonderful views, large deck, clean air.
Tis was a great location for a quiet getaway, close to town and restaurants while still providing serenity and privacy. Only downside was the mountain road to get from the main road to the house.
This is a beautiful home. It is very well stocked with everything one may need. We especially enjoyed the three outdoor seating areas - a front patio, side patio and the large porch/balcony with fantastic views. The owners were very responsive. We accidentally damaged some of the property and they could not have been more understanding. The reason I gave "location" a 4 rather than 5 is due to the long, narrow, windy road that leads to the house. Otherwise, this stay was just perfect.
We loved this home in the hills outside Santa Fe. Beautiful property, lovely, comfortable home with all the comforts of home, quiet with no close neighbors, and spectacular views. Easy drive into Santa Fe from this hilltop home. Property owners were very kind and responsive. We would stay here again!
